Milan, Italy — Under a warm Italian sun, IBIS kicked off its 2023 Global Summit in Milan on Wednesday, bringing together some of the most influential figures in the international collision repair industry.
Presenting sponsor Axalta helped kick off the event Wednesday evening with a networking reception and dinner at the Sheraton Milan San Siro, the summit’s host venue, before leading into a full day of high-level presentations built around the theme of “Sustainable Strategies for Success”.
Global industry trends, a debate on leadership and a panel discussion on sustainable supply chains were on the menu for Thursday, in addition to an on-stage interview with CARSTAR Canada co-founder, and friend of Collision Repair, Sam Mercanti.
Friday will open with some expertise on insurance from a number of international speakers, before wrapping up around noon.
The entire global summit is being live-streamed for those who cannot attend.
For reference, Milan’s timezone is six hours ahead of eastern standard time, so schedule accordingly.
